It 1b claimed that this effort resulted in a saving to Douglas county pruno RiowoiH of at least fifty thousand dollars. The 1031 legislature enacted a law that provided for a minimum price- that Oregon prunes must bring to tho producer and a con sequent orderly marketing arrange ment. Our 1931 prunes woro sold under this plan and probubly saved Oregon prune growora In excels of $500,000 nbovo what they would have rocolvod. Late In 11135 the Oregon supreme court declared the law unconstitu tional and slnco then the growers have been subject to tho varying price whims of the packers, result ing In financial loss nnd actual dis aBlor to hundreds of northwestern prune growers. During 19SR tho Oregon pruno control board found Itself helpless to remedy tho con dition as the court decision came too late lust fall for the growers to properly organlic and by volun tary agreement protect thorn solves. This spring the various pruno districts have organized, reelected their board of directors and a lib oral slgn-np of Oregon growers has been effoetod. However, tho signed agreements are purely voluntary upon the part of growers ami un less at leust K5 per cent of the prune acrcsge Is under contract very little If any ailvHiitsge will be gaiuod by setting a minimum price and endeavoring to work out an orderly marketing of the product. If the prune control board can not operate for tho want of suf ficient acreage sign-up, it would appear that the prune Industry of Oregon Is doomed through iHck of Interest or selflshnetis upon the part of a minority group of grow er.! themselves, as prune producers havo for some yenrs operated at a loss and as a matter of com so can not keep on with a losing game. 'I' lie simple truth of the matter Is just this, the prune packer Is only Interested In buying his prod uct as cheaply us possible, not luring about the welfare of l he grower. The grower has one rem edy and this Is cooperative organi zation. Do wo realize that within the past mouth one million pounds of I Douglas county prunes wore sold lo packers for an average of about 1.6 rents per pound? Do we iilso realize that IWti thirties are being offered to llni Undo for five j 1 1 i I a quarter rents pac ked in 2."i pound boxes mid on the Portland dork? This will gho the grower possibly Ihree and oue-htilf cents for his thirties. Ilnw do we like the pros oct? Grower should sign the prune control contract one hundred per cent and forever put a stop to (bis packer control of their crops. This problem ran be solved by the Blowers and by them alone. consider ourselves the most abused people on earth.

This road runs for sev eral miles through one ot the most god-forsaken countries imag inable, it having been logued off many years ago. It Is coered now by a ragged growth of brush, above which rise Innumerable stumps of once great trees, bleach ed white by tho elements during many a wild storm. Some early day lumberman reaped a fortune from the trees which once grew here, ami contributed much to the tiHltlc of business which made the Coos Hay dlstilct Important in the channels of trade; but he left a desolate mess behind him.

CHARLES A EDWARDS In Psalms IK: 1-6 tho writer was suro of one thing that na ture speaks of (iod of His greatness and His goodness and Ill's love. The scientists in terpret the heavens and the earth for us, and their mory is full of interest and fascination. Ji ut Hie greatest fact about this universe of ours, is thut God made it. "There can be no de sign without a designer." Some scientists would have us believe because they have discovered, they have created. We do ap preciate the scientist, but we are bound to worship the Lord who made heaven and earth. O (iod, Thou art the Creator of the ends of the earth. May wo adore the works of Thy Hands. Amen. predion and constitutional rights, hey ?" An answer was on Bannister's Hps when he stopped suddenly. He had drawn his right hand from his pocket and clenched his fist. Miss Sire glided to his side and touch ed his arm. "1 am willing to be searched," she said. Iiut that was not what paralyzed Hannister s tongue, lie uau ten a tugging at bis pocket, and whon he thrust bis hand down into Its depths the stiletto was gone! Kar en Sire, with the certainty of be ing searched within the next few minutes, had deliberately relieved him of the murder weapon. He looked at Boyle, at Toole, at the policewoman. Not one of them gave a sign that the act had been observed. The girl's fare flushed a little. It miehr 1m hurtiii-" aia c-ild nil int. ly, "if we both waived formalities and permitted Captain Hoyle to spot." Hannister had something more important on his mind than the prospect of dunking his tonsils in Scotch whiskey when be wulked in to that room alone. 1 he murder weapon was still in his pocket; by concealing it he had become an ac complice after the fact. He won dered if Toole had been a witness of the dramatic interlude between himself and Karen Sire, or, not having seen it, suspected anything. He clinked two bottles together, set them down without taking u drink, and squeezed the water out of his coat sleeve witli a crunching grip. The thought or hiding the stiletto came to him, but he figur ed that this would only bog him self and the girl deeper in suspi cion if Toole actually had seen him take it from the aquarium. Hannister found himself trying to protect Karen Sire, and at the same time, fiercely denying any thought of her guilt. Ho associat ed this girl with the soft pulse of life, the velvet patter of ease, the security of wealth and social po sition. He knew women, but few in her station. His excursions to tho court of Venus had been con fined to frontier dance balls, io the huts of hill billies, to jungle ar bors and the sands of South Sea beaches. The young geologist had met siui-htiked girls of the desert, blonde Cyprians, brown charmers, Kurasian nymphs and mestizo maids. They had all found him cold and left him so. Hut the first sight of Karen Sire had changed all this; she had flung, a rainbow aeross his horizon, set golden hells tinkling in his brain, and bung the gray copings of the city with sciu lillant prisms. Was tlio joyous delirium to prove a dream? Was the grisly hand of murder to sweep it all away? With the stiletto still in Ills pocket he rejoined Miss Sire and the detective. At the same mo ment a wide panel in the wall opeiipd and Captain Hoyle stepped into the room from an electric ele vator, a i.' il Mi Ot-jt made wo man at his' elftow. The man's luce was set: a cold fury seemed to possess him. Kvidontly ho luid ret u met I from the floor below, with an empty bag. "Here's your new maid, J.Ilis Sire," he snapped. "She's a police woman. Her first duty will be to search you - In there!" He pointed to a closed door. I la mi is-!' managed to remain calm. "Miss Sire is not under ar rest," be said. "Isn't this proceed ing a little unusual'.'" Iloyle turti'-d upon him with a sa age glare. "Oh. you're one of them amachoor lawyers, are you? I suppose if I start to frisk you, we'll he;,'- a mar about notice on- follow his own methods.' She nod ded to the policewoman and start ed toward the door, plucking Toole's derby from its perch as she passed the aquarium. "Yours isn't it?" she asked, extending the hat toward him.
